Glover power in tight is something else. Rashad gave him no reason to NOT come forward. #UFCTampa

Glover Teixeira with some redemption for Chuck Liddell. Put Rashad Evans to sleep. Glover vs. Anthony Johnson please and thanks. #UFCTampa

I really hate seeing Evans lose. Hoping he evaluates where he goes from here with his team. Chins aren't known to come back.

Tremendous win for Teixeira. Hard not to feel a bit sad for Evans though. It's amazing how quickly things can change in fighting.

Looked amazing at UFC 167 vs Sonnen. That was just 2.5 years ago. Cruel sport at times.

Rashad has a great legacy in MMA. I hope people don't forget that.
